Here's an excerpt of the sound track composed using the sounds of cotton mill machines, to accompany Caroline Radcliffe, Lancashire clog dancer. 

Our dance and AV piece aims to highlight the industrial roots of Lancashire clog dancing by juxtaposing dance steps with the machine actions which directly inspired them. I spoke about the history and development of this dance in a recent TEdx talk - more details here: http://www.sarahangliss.com/talks/lovingthemachinenotes

All through the winter we’ve held the past like a bible to keep us in place
But I’m not religious and we like adventure so forget all those laws we embraced

It is time to step off the carousel

It’s easy to live by the clock on the wall cause you do what you’ve done before
But soon you end up in a cycle of learning the things that you already know

It is time to step off the carousel

It’s not that I want to deny the patterns that helped us to stay in bloom
It’s just that it feels like we’re falling asleep when we should be uncovering the moon

It is time to step off the carousel

I found an old mexican story on a public website (https://mapasonoro.cultura.gob.mx/) and decided to make it a tune.// Encontre una historia mexicana en una pagina de grabaciones por todo el país y decidi hacerla una rola.
